- Massage harder. - Yes, Sir.
Look at this!
No wonder the captives keep escaping.
- Who are you, and where are you from? - Can't you tell?
I'm *** Hengbu from the Royal Guards.
- The Royal Guards? - Yes.
I'm here with a special mission to arrest Iljimae.
Get in a single file line.
Lower, lower…
Higher…
*** Hengbu hasn't changed a bit.
We're glad to see him, as well as fed up with him.
It was Iljimae who helped the captives cross the border.
I can tell from this ninja star.
No one was able to arrest him but I can do it.
Why? Because I'm awesome!
You should be honored!
Lower, lower…
There he is!
Run!
Iljimae!
How many times have we met?
*** Hengbu.
I shouldn't have let you live.
When I heard that a man kept smuggling the Joseon captives, I knew it was you.
Iljimae, kneel down and surrender.
You can't arrest me.
You know what will happen if you try to stop me, right?
Iljimae!
Sound the drum!
Iljimae, I know your weakness. It's the sound of the drum.
It's starting to work.
Iljimae…
Keep sounding the drum!
Why aren't you fainting? Faint!
Why aren't you fainting? Keep sounding the drum!
Iljimae! What's going on?
Once you get hurt badly, the pain from before don't mean anything.
You've given too much pain to my country and me.
I've forgotten about the pain from the past.
Iljimae! Iljimae!
Wait!
You're still not done with me?
There's another reason why I came here.
The Emperor wants to see you.
The Emperor?
You can't fool me this time.
No, I'm telling the truth this time.
The Emperor got sick right before the Ming campaign.
He wants to see you. That's why he sent me.
Please go and meet the Emperor.
- Stop the nonsense. - No, I'm telling the truth.
Come on, can't you grant me just one wish?
Fine, tell me.
The Emperor said that he needs you to give something back to him.
- What? - I don't know what it is.
He said that he needs it back in place of the golden plum blossom.
I have to learn how to walk sideways again.
Let's do the twist.
I'm bored.
You're that kid I saw at Liaodong.
I knew it was you.
It's a hard name to forget. And your eyes, too.
Iljimae.
I need the sword back.
Do you know what that sword means?
I heard that it symbolizes the authority of the Emperor.
It's much more than that.
The sword has been passed down from the first Emperor.
Only he who has the sword can be acknowledged as the true Emperor.
I don't have much time to live.
I've been fooling the others with a fake sword.
But I need to pass that sword down to my son before I die.
If I don't, this country will be thrown into great chaos.
I know why you took that sword.
You were asking me not to start the war, since you didn't kill me.
Numerous people have died from that war.
Innocent lives are being tortured in this land.
Is there anything you want?
If I tell you, will you grant it for me?
Tell me what it is.
Release as much Joseon people as that sword is worth.
As much as that sword is worth?
If you don't keep your promise, I'll take the sword back.
This conversation must not leave this room.
Can you do that for me?
- Of course. - Good.
How will you return the sword?
The sword never left the palace in the first place.
It's in the cabinet at the ceiling of your room.
How come Iljimae gets to meet the Emperor?
I want to know!
Iljimae, why did he ask for you?
I'm dying to know!
*** Hengbu, are you going to follow me again?
Don't ever follow me again.
That's none of your business.
Iljimae.
Iljimae�
